  • @Kpilot786457 Awesome mate, Bigger props always make 3D much easier! Stay tuned for an Sbach 342, i've been scratch building one i hope to have finished soon!

  • @scultura44 Turns out the reason I couldn't hover mine was because the prop was way too small, 8 iunches but it needed 9 inches. Now with 9 inch, hovering is SO easy!

  • @scultura44 okay thanks! ill try it next month when i go to the next indoor fly in. or sooner outside if its not windy. thanks again!

  • @Kpilot786457 just move your battery or reciever fwd in small increments toward the propeller until it becomes more stable.

  • @scultura44 so... how is it easiest to do this? fwd CG?

  • @Kpilot786457 No not tail heavy at all. Tail heavy planes are harder to control in tourque roll. It is perfect cg if not slightly fwd.

  • @scultura44 tail heavy is yours?

  • @Kpilot786457 Thanks mate. Have you checked your CG? That has alot to do with it, BUT yes i have had a lot of practice. The trick is to react before the plane does and use small movements only.

  • hello. how is this so stable!???!??! are you just really good mine wobbles so much when i hover! are you good or is mine not a good hever plane? its teh EDGE 540 from leadfeather. whats going on youre really good!

  • Nice one ~ good flyin :)
